Ok, what about the big washer does the strut go on top of that?

Mines sat ontop of the big washers.

 

[Cupra137]

Yeah, i think thats what i did with mine aswell. 10min job tops.

 

[Jokerman261]

No squeaking issues? seen a few people complain about that, never squeaked on mine though.

 

[Cupra137]

Nope none at all, i did think there would be some issues after reading that but pleasantly surprised so far.

 

[Cupra137]

Finally my Forge 007p arrived so iv fitted that today

Much better than the previous one I had on, anyone able to tell what brand this one is, was on the car when I bought it but it was constantly dumping pressure.

 

[Cupra137]

Thanks Postie! Now to tackle the siezed bolts to fit it.

[Cupra137]

Car as it stands today... got some spacers for the rear in the post, so hopefully get them on at the weekend and sort out the rear.

Managed to finally find a ko3s for a good price/cond, so now just waiting on all the new gaskets etc for it from Seremotors and a new silicone TIP, then time to play...

[Cupra137]

Argh Kidding? Been after one for a while now but think il stick with this one, 'apparently' came off a leon cupra at 20K when it was written off so should be ok.
Yeah, im not looking forward to fitting it really, looking forward to it being on tho

How long did it take you to put one on? Might be making it 4 for you haha

 

[cuprat]

Came off my Ibiza at 25k for a k04 and been sat in my shed since. Its not so much the turbo a pain its getting the exhaust manifold off that the pain in the a--

You'll be fine, definitely easier if you can get someone underneath the car and someone in the engine bay.
